The search is on for the best Instagram shot taken in Milton Keynes - and a prize of £1,000 is up for grabs.

Social media fanatics are urged to help make Milton Keynes the most Instagrammable destination in the UK.

The competition is organised by National Rail, whose 16-25 Railcard has created an Insta-Rail map featuring the most photographed locations.

Research shows that 16 to 25-year-olds in MK upload an average of 12 photos each to Instagram every week.

“We want to find the most Instagrammable places that Milton Keynes has to offer. Whether it’s quirky bars, historical points of interest or local attractions, were looking for the best and most visually impressive photos from the area,” said a National Rail spokesman.

The winner of the competition will receive £1,000 and the title of Milton Keynes’ best Instagrammer. Their shot will appear on ad campaigns and social media channels.

Anybody wishing to enter can upload their image to Instagram tagging @national.rail, using the hashtag #instarail. Or compete via the National Rail Facebook page using #instrail
